Du Noyer Photography Competition
 George Victor Du Noyer, who served as a geologist with the Geological Survey of Ireland from 1847 to 1869, was a skilled field artist whose numerous sketches and pictures, with their combination of artistic skill and technical accuracy, were the “field photographs” of their day. This competition seeks to encourage the same blend of artistic and scientific skills through the medium of photography.

Calling all photographers, particularly amateur! GSI runs an annual landscape/geology photo competition.  Closing date for entries is October 7, 2011. The competition has been growing in popularity each year of its existence and 2010's catalogue of entries was of incredibly high standard. Get snapping now for the 2011 competition!
